Brake and Suspension recommendations needed

Hi all some advice and recommendations on the following required:

𝗖𝗮𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟬𝟳 𝗘𝟴𝟱 𝟮.𝟬

Based - UK
Driving Style - non-track, daily driver, regular country road blasts on weekend

1) 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝘀/𝗣𝗮𝗱𝘀 - my front are oem and, produce too much brake dust along with not feeling sharp.
I have looked at EBC Red Stuff pads but if anyone has a better ceramic pads recommendation let me know.

Also for brake discs front what would you recommend and size? (prefer drilled/grooved for the aesthetics)

Does anyone recommend getting brake lines replaced since going to be down there? Big difference to braided?

2) 𝗙/𝗥 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 - its not a must have right now but seems like a doable DIY, so if I am going to be taking wheels of I am considering this.

How much difference to the ride do springs make?

Again any recommendations and before vs after comments.

3) 𝗙/𝗥 𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 - again its a nice to have, just want to get an idea of recommendations and price.

Comments on real experience before and after.
I have seen for sale full kits with the springs and coil-overs and some of these are really expensive so guess something mid-range would be ideal.

** I recently put on 18" alloys, is their potential to lower the car but not to the point the wheels rub the arches?

*** Any discount codes along with recommended sites would be great

Thanks
